Please don’t try and make a sexist thing out of this, but I have to say the women’s game would benefit from slightly smaller pitches and goals. I know City’s men’s team are on the small side, but every time I watch the women the pitch seems so big, the goals seem huge, the goalies so small. However, the skill levels have risen dramatically over the last decade or so. Brilliant save by City’s keeper just now, for example. It just feels like they have to put in ten percent more effort to get from one end of the pitch to the other, and the goalies have to leap twice as far, simply because women tend to be a bit smaller than men. Anyway, let’s hope City win, if only to see if the commentators credit Manchester United with the legendary “unbeatables” tag.
